Need Help with Copying Multi-Select Field Values in Power Automate

[DavidRysanek]

Hello,

I am working on a Power Automate flow where I need to copy items from one list to another.

There are several selections in the list.  You may not know what they mean, anyway these options are all choices where only one option can be selected. This works as it should for me, the problem is with the item "Pro" = "For who" as this item allows multiple items to be selected at once.

Example of list

I created a variable that must be a string (although I thought it should be an array), otherwise it won't let me select u to create an item. Does anyone have experience with this ? 

When I put there that it is for example for Frontend and Backend so I copy only one thing and that is the one I entered first.

Here's a description of what the flow is supposed to do: it's supposed to do that when someone creates an item in a non-public list, it comes to the boss for checking, who for example approves it, and when approved, basically the item is copied to the public list for everyone

Hi @DavidRysanek 

I have a multi select column like this 

Now using the flow like the below, i am able to copy it to another list 

This would create list item in another list as required.

Hope this helps you !

I've tested it now and it works, thank you so much, you saved me a lot of time, I've been trying literally everything for the last 5 hours and it only took your solution. You rock.

I have one more question, which is similar. I tried to solve it with the same method, but it didn't work. This time it is that I also have a multiple choice, with the difference that now it is not a choice, but the format of the email (emails of colleagues in the company), because as soon as I fill in the email, it does not transfer to the new list, do you know what could be the cause ?

Hi @DavidRysanek 

Assume i have a sharepoint column named Emails which is multi person column datatype.

For person fields scenario, you have small change in select action, see below

Hope this helps !
